The Center for Creative Education will host its Third Annual Diversity Parade & Seventh Annual “Let’s Move! Ulster” on Wednesday, June 21.

The parade kickoff will start at Kingston Catholic School, 159 Broadway, Kingston, at 6 p.m. and end at T.R. Gallo Park, where the Let’s Move! Ulster Health Fair and Celebration will begin and run to 8 p.m. Both events are free.

Events will include participation in a “flash mob,” facilitated by Center for Creative Education Executive Director Bryant “Drew” Andrews, as well as fitness demonstrations such as DXF – Dance Xross Fitness, Yoga, Tai Chi and Zumba. Live performers will include P.O.O.K (Percussion Orchestra of Kingston) and the Energy Dance Company.

The fair is also a chance to learn and engage with community vendors in the health and wellness industry.

For those interested in performing in the flash mob there are several ways to learn the dance. A video tutorial is available to study on CCE’s website, cce4me.org/lets-move-ulster-2017/ and the Facebook page/LetsMoveUlster. Live instruction will also be provided at local dance and community centers, gyms and schools.

The center strives to expand its programs and offerings to the community. The organization’s mission is to enrich the social and cultural awareness of local youngsters and the community through arts, wellness and education. The center has encouraged thousands of youngsters to realize their dreams through arts, wellness and technology-based educational programming.
